Can I use this for SSH security?

Absolutely. The skill includes declarative patterns for disabling password authentication, managing root login, and applying automated SSH hardening.

Which cloud providers are supported?

It supports all major cloud providers that utilize cloud-init, including AWS, DigitalOcean, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Azure, and Linode.

Cloud-init is the industry-standard tool for early-stage initialization of cloud instances, handling tasks like user creation, package installation, and file configuration on first boot.

Does this skill work with Terraform?

Yes, it provides specific guidance for integrating cloud-init within Terraform and OpenTofu using user_data blocks and external template files.

How do I debug failed cloud-init scripts?

The skill includes debugging instructions, such as using 'cloud-init status' and checking the logs located at /var/log/cloud-init.log on the target instance.
